VERSION 5 OUT

name table
<(>Nametab<)> for short. Stores the DDIC runtime objects of data types in the ABAP Dictionary. The name table is persisted as the native database table DDNTT and contains <(>nametab<)> headers and <(>nametab<)> field descriptions. This database table is not defined as a DDIC database table in the ABAP Dictionary. The name table is accessed internally in the ABAP runtime framework or by using APIs.
BEGIN_SECTION SAP_INTERNAL_HINT
The former table DDNTF for separate storage of the field descriptions is not supported any more.
